Question 9

comes from the word circle. ____ is a collection of real components, power
sources, and signal sources, all connected so
current can flow in a complete circle

Answer 9

Circuit

Question 10

If the circle
is complete, if all currents have a path back to
where they came from.
Indicates low resistance

Answer 10

Closed circuit

Question 11

if the circle is not
complete, if there is a gap or opening in the path.
This Indicates high resistance

Answer 11

OPEN CIRCUIT

Question 12

happens when a path of low resistance (ideally zero) is connected (usually
by mistake) to a component.
Zero ohms of resistance

Answer 12

SHORT CIRCUIT

Question 13

VOM

VOLT-OHM-MILLIAMMETER

Question 14

DMM

Answer 14

Digital meter

Question 15

When measuring the current it is important to never place
the probes directly on the two battery terminals. This will
cause a ____

Answer 15

short circuit

Question 16

Connect the _____ to the appropriate
current port either “A” or “mA”.

Answer 16

red probe

Question 17

an instrument which is normally part of a
multimeter together with a voltmeter and an ammeter,
and is used to measure the resistance of a component. It
should be placed across the component under test to
measure the resistance of an isolated component or
circuit.

Answer 17

ohmmeter

Question 18

Born in Prussia (now Russia), Kirchhoff developed his “laws” while a student in 1845.

Answer 18

Gustav Robert Kirchhoff

Question 19

These laws allowed him to calculate the voltages and currents in multiple loop circuits.

Answer 19

Kirchhoff’s Law

Question 20

The algebraic sum of the voltages around any loop is zero. In any closed loop in a network, the algebraic sum of the voltage drops (i.e. products of current and resistance) taken around the loop is equal to the resultant e.m.f. acting in that loop.

Answer 20

KIRCHHOFF’SVOLTAGE LAW( KVL)

Question 21

Kirchhoff’s first law is based on the law of conservation of charge. Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a node (or a closed boundary) is zero.

Answer 21

KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW( KCL)
